A member asked:
My son has a black line across both big toenails almost like it was broke then grew back together what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nail discoloration: Dark lines across the nails most commonly are from either trauma or fungus. As long as it is healing he should be fine... if you are concerned, a picture or video upload will help and an exam will definitely give you the correct diagnosis and treatment if needed.
